Yes, but I use one every other day. That could have ended badly if it was a cheaper meter. 
I’ve designed and built commercial 1200A mains power filters with lightning protection but I still get an electrician in to do electrical work in my house. Don’t shake hands with the angry pixies (aka electrikery).
Probably this: Serial Projector control with ESPHome
Electronically pretty simple but I had to use the serial protocol analyser of my digital oscilloscope at one point and then I still needed help from the ESPHome experts to get the UART buffer to work correctly. Fortunately their discord channel is really helpful and we got it working.
Regarding not reading instructions that were right there the whole time - I’ve done this just recently. I spent a while researching how to add hard drives to Proxmox VMs (I’m very new to this) so I could set up my shiny new Scrypted network video recorder. It did not work well. When seeking help the developer of the NVR software immediately asks me why I did it that way and not as per their (much simpler) written instructions which I had completely overlooked.
